Het Witte Huis wil de rekening presenteren aan ‘afvallige’ bondgenoten na het uitblijven van onvoorwaardelijke steun tijdens de oorlog met Iran. Volgens Politico hanteert de regering-Trump inmiddels een document met ‘stoute en brave’ Navo-landen om zo gericht te kunnen straffen.

Compounding the problem is Trump’s misapplication of the madman theory itself, argues CATO Institute analyst Benjamin Giltner.

If no breakthrough is reached in negotiations, the cease-fire is expected to expire on Tuesday night – and Trump has already warned of the consequences of renewed fighting ■ Netanyahu continues to leak assessments, or perhaps his wish, that the talks are on the verge of collapse

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that representatives from Washington were heading to Islamabad and they would be “there tomorrow evening for negotiations” with Iran. The US president made the announcement in a Truth Social post, where he also insisted that Washington was offering Tehran “a very fair and reasonable” deal. “And I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” he warned. “NO MORE MR. NICE GUY! They’ll come down fast, they’ll come down easy and, if they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honour to do what has to be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, for the last 47 years. IT’S TIME FOR THE IRAN KILLING MACHINE TO END!” US media outlets reported, citing the White House spokesperson and officials, that Vice President JD Vance would lead the American delegation, and that Trump’s envoy Steve Kushner and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner would also be part of t...

Pope Leo sought to downplay his feud with US President Donald Trump on Saturday, saying reporting about comments he has made so far during his Africa tour “has not been accurate in all its aspects”. Speaking to reporters in English aboard his flight to Angola for the third leg of his ambitious 10-day Africa tour, the first American pope said comments he made two days earlier in Cameroon, decrying that the world was being “ravaged by a handful of tyrants”, were not aimed at Trump. That speech, said Leo, “was prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting”. On Sunday, as the pontiff prepared to embark on his tour, Trump called him “weak on crime, and terrible for foreign policy” in a post on Truth Social. Trump also posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure, drawing widespread criticism even from some religious conservatives who typically support him. The post was removed on Monday morning. Trump appeared to be resp...

Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado said on Saturday she had “no regrets” about symbolically handing over her Nobel Peace Prize to US President Donald Trump back in January. “There is a leader in the world, a head of state in the world who risked the lives of his country’s citizens for Venezuela’s freedom,” she told a news conference in Madrid. Machado presented her Nobel prize to Trump when she met him in the White House just two weeks after he ordered US forces to attack Caracas and snatch Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Trump, who has long coveted the Nobel Peace Prize, is currently embroiled in the Middle East war he started with his ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with airstrikes on Iran at the end of February. The Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the peace prize, made clear after Machado handed her 2025 Nobel medal to Trump that the actual honour it represents “cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others”. Machado said that Trump’s military operation to s...

Het ingaan van het staakt-het-vuren tussen Israël en Libanon heeft in Libanon na middernacht (lokale tijd, 23.00 uur in Nederland) tot vreugde-uitbarstingen geleid. Toch beschuldigde het Libanese leger Israël niet lang daarna van het schenden van het bestand. En volgens president Trump is een akkoord met Iran in zicht over kernwapens. Trump lijkt er op te duiden dat Iran bereid is verrijkt uranium aan de VS te overhandigen. Volg alle ontwikkelingen in het Midden-Oosten in ons liveblog.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that if a deal with Iran to end the war was reached and signed in Islamabad, he might go there, claiming that Iran had agreed to almost everything. He also said that the US and Iran were “very close” to signing a peace deal. Trump struck an optimistic tone about Iran as he spoke with reporters on the White House lawn on his way to a trip to Nevada and Arizona. Pakistan’s civil and military leadership has been engaged in feverish diplomacy, seeking to bring the US and Iran back to the negotiating table after the Islamabad Talks over the weekend yielded no result. Now, there are reports that the negotiating teams from the US and Iran could return to Islamabad. The talks were held as a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran remained in effect. The ceasefire paused hostilities that began with the US-Israeli strikes on February 28. During the conversation at the White House, Trump was asked if he would go to Pakistan to seal the deal himself, t...

Major World Liberty Financial investor Justin Sun called a plan to lock tokens for up to four years “the most absurd governance scams I have ever seen.” The Trump family’s crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, is facing backlash over a new proposal to lock up tokens purchased by early investors for up to four years, or in some cases, indefinitely. World Liberty posted the proposal to its governance forum on Wednesday, which outlined that early investors would have their World Liberty Financial (WLFI) tokens locked for a further two years before their tokens would be released in batches over the following two years. According to the proposal, tokenholders who do not accept the new unlock schedule would “continue to have their tokens locked indefinitely.” Read more

WLFI’s new unlock proposal feels like a move to contain a crisis, but the bigger issue is still about who actually holds the reins and how governance really works. World Liberty Financial is back on its governance forum with a proposal that covers 62.28 billion locked WLFI tokens. This comes at a time when the […] The post Trump family’s WLFI starts damage control but its new plan leaves holders who refuse the new terms locked indefinitely appeared first on CryptoSlate.
